Q- what do you recommend? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hello N7(2) users! I just got me a tablet yesterday, and I'm curious. What ROM do you recommend? Currently, I'm running carbon, on both my n4 and n7, and I want something different. Something quick, easy on the ram, and great with the battery. Thanks in advance for your oppionion!

I can recommend you to test them all
btw; AICP is my favorite

I'm using Paranoid Android on my Galaxy Nexus, but I haven't felt the need to depart from stock ROM on the N7 2013. I use elementalX Kernel though and added TWRP.

I've flashed my flo 20+ times. I was using various Cm builds but I got tired of the instability after a week or more of use. I tried PA but it's just not stable on my device yet. Slimrom worked well for me but it was lacking some convenience features and it wasn't very fast. I recently flashed Omnirom to try out the multi window feature. The rom was glitchy but multi window did work. I flashed something else once I found out that you can't keep a video playing on half the screen while you use another app on the other side.
For kernels I started with elemental and then switched to faux when it came out. I've dabbled with Franco and glitch but Faux gives me the best battery life by far. I got busy with work and didn't touch my tablet for awhile. I ended up with over 20 days of standby with faux.
I know you said you wanted a change but I've finally settled on Carbon. It's the fastest and most stable rom that I've found this far. PIE, Halo, and floating window all work great. The benchmarks and daily performance are right up there with the CM roms. I've just been using the kernel that comes with Carbon and I'm getting good battery life. Faux is currently ironing out some kinks but I'll switch back to it soon for the battery life and screen calibration options.

Stay stock since it's a Nexus device. If you decide to experiment stay stock first at least for a few weeks to establish a baseline so you'll know if it's ROM related if you run into issues.

I had 50% of my battery drain in carbon from cLock.. I was just wondering if there was a good ROM to utilize what the device is. A tablet. No point in clock being there. You can't use it on the go much. I dunno

cLock doesn't even show up in my battery stats. Is it the clock widget? I deleted the stock one and just use trusty ol' Beautiful Widgets.
Carbon doesn't have a tablet UI but I didn't care for it much in the other roms I've tried. The device just isn't that big so the regular phone UI works fine for me. Even adjusting the dpi makes things too small to be touch friendly for my fingers.

Can someone recommend a rom for me to use on my gnex

I'm fairly new to android but went ahead and unlocked and stuff to install stock 4.0.2 ahead of my phone receiving the update. I'm growing frustrated with some lag and things here and there so I think its time I install a custom rom. I'm currently running stock 4.0.2 unlocked GSM version (yakju). Can anyone give me a good recommendation since there's so many to choose from?

^^ Yep. The AOKP ROM is the most stable for sure.

Yep. The AOKP ROM is about as flawless as it gets. Even full stable CM7 ROMs on my previous phones were not as good as this. And the way Romanbb designed the settings toggles within the notification drop down is absolutely perfect, IMO.

I'm currently using bigxie's rom and its really good - smooth and with great added features.
I might try the AOKP one though as it does seem to be favoured by quite a few people !
Its easy to flash the new roms so why not just flash one, try for a day , then flash another ? Everyone has their personal likes/dislikes anyway.......
The only way to truely know is to try them all yourself but for me after doing that I am stuck with AOKP and APEX kernel. Great match.
Only thing stopping me from using AOKP is the pink unicorn - NO THANKS!!
bigxie's ROM does it for me personally, but ultimately you have to try them for yourself.
Opinions are like arse holes - everyone has one!

This is a great combo. I too was a little disheartened by the interface lag the gnex had on stock, but after I flashed this combo I was MUCH happier. My phone is so buterryyyyyy now and I love it.

A lot of UI options in the room. Like add remove and change order and color of the on screen white nav keys! For me this rom was a must have and I highly recommend it!

lol Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the pink unicorn boot animation either, but it is easy to use custom boot animations.
I just copied the bootanimation.zip to /data/local
Again, for those of you happy using AOKP: I am trying to figure out whether to jump to the GNex yet. I am on an old HTC Incredible, but frankly, it gets the job done and I get better than 24 hours battery life yet. I remember the bad old days when my batt life sucked & I was always flashing new SW to make my phone work, and I don't feel like going back to that. I will be on the Verizon CDMA / LTE version. If I flash AOKP + Franco:
1. Will most of my apps run smoothly / not FCing all the time?
2. Will I be able to get 12-14 hours of light usage from the phone?
Not looking for guarantees, just your personal opinion if you're running this setup.
Thx in advance!

1) The only thing I ever got a FC on was when I was using LauncherPro Calendar widget. Now that I'm using the Nova launcher I don't remember seeing a force close.
2) 12-14 hours should be easily doable. With my current config I'm at ~ 79% in almost 6hrs with 1h10m screen on time.
AOKP definitely at the moment, smooth, more features than any thing else ive tried. Combined with Nova launcher there aint much it can't do.
Load a new boot image though LOL.
Definitely AOKP. I don't know about smoothness (I thought the Gnex was smooth already) but I absolutely love the added control. To be honest though, it was the notification toggles that got me (and admittedly cause me to root). The unicorn was a surprise, but a quick bootanimation flash was all that was necessary.
Curious about the franco kernel...
Why does everyone rag on the Unicorn ? Cause it's pink ?

Thoughts on ROM's so far??

So I'm new to the android community coming from an iphone 4S, and so far it's pretty awesome. lol. I've tried two ROM's, AOKP and TuchMi. So far i'm enjoying TuchMi since it brings the stock with all of Samsung's features, plus overclocking, V6 and all that. performance has been nice. As i'm trying to get more into android, I wanted to know you guy's thoughts on the two ROM's or maybe any other ones that might be better?? thanks in advance!

I was hoping this thread to run good since I am trying to get an idea on roms since I just got my S III today.
We got enough good roms going.
I mean we have a subsidized carrier phone, so it's pretty natural for the international counterpart would get more attention.
With that said, I love AOKP.
AOKP is beast. Just trying to test out different ROM's, but seriously, if you like touchwiz, check it out. Only thing is, my apps say they are invalid when I download. Any help??

Diet ICS
Also tried TuchMi, it was pretty good.
Currently using the diet ICS build from 08/04 with the latest BLUE theme installed (found in the diet ICS thread from peterguru) and it looks and works great. Running ktoonz latest kernel (which allows underclocking to 192MHz and has more steps than faux123's v009) and smokin's CPU Editor with Battery Saver. Great battery life, great performance, awesome blue "diet" theme. Probably my favorite so far.
To be honest though the thing that made me switch and flash diet ICS over TuchMi 5.0 was the inclusion of Google Wallet (although now my phone thinks its a Galaxy Nexus ) -- still haven't been able to test it out in the wild though...

I've been on TuchMi-S3"X" 5.0 since i got my phone 2 weeks ago. So far the best. I tried Diet rom too, but it was a little skinny for me (lol?).
I tried AOKP today and I had used AOKP on my Atrix before, but I went back to TuchMis3x right away because its so far the best. Stable, Battery is insane too!
I'm just waiting for CM10 to fully come out for our phones and i'll make the switch!
Sooo, I switched from TuchMi to AOKP, and right after, my battery starts to drain. Drained about 5% within 2min. Running TuchMi, my battery barely moves. Now I'd have to say that it is successfully the best ROM imo. only problems are: my Google account syncs on and off with contacts, and sometimes i get a blue screen fracture. idk.

If your battery drained that fast then something is wrong. Almost 11 hours on battery with 2 hours of screen time, lte on all day and wifi on past 3 hours and I am sitting at 62% right now. I am on aokp ics right now. Only thing keeping me from newer updates is that HBO go doesn't work in any of the cm10 based in roms yet that I know of
I would also like to point out that it takes several battery cycles before a rom fully settles in and you find out how it truly performs with battery.

Thanks for that. Like I said, I'm new to this so I didn't know what was going on, so the first thing that came to my mind was to go back. Now I just flashed the AOKP jb ROM. The AOKP that i had before was the CM9 based one i believe? lol. Either way, thanks man. added a little more confidence for me lol.
Jellybro from Euroskank the best one for my needs. not the last one though. 2 days battery, butter smooth, love the Jelly aesthetics and simplicity.
When the bugs are worked out of paranoid android I would say give that a run. The ability to run phone and tablet on one device together flawlessly is great. Plus you ave full control over the size of all apps and the such.
JellyBro is my top pick, then would be a stock ROM ([ROM]{??/??/????}TEAM_INSOMNIA PrEsEnTs ARISTODEMOS) and after that I'd say AOKP CM9 based for EXTREMELY long battery life.
been using cm9 for a few days, perfectly stable so far and great battery life. Can't beat stock ics
Blazer
I have been on Blazer O/C with the Kalagas mixed ICS Theme and love it. Seems all the stock based ROMS are fine with some nice tweaks

new Galaxy Nexus, looking for suggestions on ROM urgent [leave on business sunday]

I am a recent Galaxy Nexus owner, my daily main device is an Atrix 4g [motorola] but since I have been messing with "that rom" and having tons of stability issues, I am giving the "gnex" a chance
I leave on business Sunday so I can't take chances on unstable/buggy roms but need some good suggestions
the biggest feature I would need is soft key mods. I am willing to use an ICS rom but prefer having JB. Without the soft keys I am kind of lost and I honestly do not like action over flow and lack of menu/search
Next biggest issue is battery life, coming from a 1900 mah battery with a small pentile screen, battery life is not really a problem on atrix. Galaxy Nexus seems decent on battery life so far but would not mind a little boost
So if you have a good rom suggestion, let me hear it. The mainline roms I see [aosp and cm] don't have the soft key mods so hope you will help out

As Chopper states, you're the only one that can decide which ROM best suits your needs. That being said I would stay on stock until you have time to test out other ROMs; nothing worse than finding a bug when you really need a stable device.

Leaning towards AndroidME stock or AndroidME cm10...has anyone used this for more than a day or two?
I used AndroidME as a daily driver for quite some time (the stock version) and enjoyed it. Very stable and I got great battery life when using it with the Trinity Kernel (3.5-4 hrs screen on time). Am now running AOKP because of its added features and ability to customize.
..........................
CyanogenMod 10 is your best bet for modifiable Nav Bar buttons. The others, codename Android, AOKP, let you add, say, a search button to the Nav Bar, but at least with Codename Android the search button is smaller than the other buttons. It looks weird.
CyanogenMod 10 is the most "stock" custom ROM out there.

Just a question... how often do you even use the multi-view lol? I just honestly don't see how/when it'd ever come in handy... besides to "show it off" but even then, our screens are not big enough for it really... hence why it was a Note II feature originally!

I thought I would never use it, but now I no longer use folders on my desktop, except for games. I just open apps (wether 1 or 2)from sidebar. I really use it more and more everyday. So theres not an instance where you wanna open an app without closing another 1. I use the sidebar to open even just 1 app, easier than folders to me.

Right now, I'm loving liquidsmooth rc2. Smooth, fast, and great battery when combined with the BMS kernel
I'm about to try peoples, it seems pretty nice. I was gonna try Liquidsmooth 4.2.2 but it doesn't have photosphere and I really love that camera!
You can always flash the stock 4.2 camera with photosphere. I did that and am currently using two stock cameras on my phone. I don't have the link readily available on my phone, but I'll try to get it to you by morning, when I'm back up on my laptop.
You could also search for it over in the apps and mods section, I think if you search for "photosphere" you can find it over there (pretty sure that's where I found it).

I'm currently running Pac v. 21.0.0.
Question, does this ROM have boosted audio? Reason I ask is because even when not using the built-in DSP Manager, my music sounds horrible no matter what music app I use. It sounds like its boosted a lot but makes my headphones cut out almost. I like to stick with AOSP Roms and like AOKP but would like a ROM with no audio tweaks whatsoever. Thanks. PM me some info. Thanks.
I would recommend liquidsmooth, if you don't run across the issue of reverting back to the the nv subscription after rebooting.Other than that, the rom is, so far, the smoothest rom i have seen as of yet.
With most 4.2.x roms, you are bound to run into a problem, either big or small, only because its relatively new. 4.1.2 is generally more stable because its been around for so long.
Liquid Smooth is now stable. HIGHLYYYY recommended. When I first started to flash ROMs I flashed like literally 5 a day... then I found Liquid Smooth a week into my flashing addiction and this ROM has cured my addiction. I have yet to flash another since Liquid Smooth came out (over a month ago).

Why so few custom roms?

Hey there.
I'm coming from Asus Infinity TF700, which was a great tablet but had disastrous storage speed, which made it virtually unusable.
On the other hand, there was plenty of custom ROMs, from CM to Paranoid, and others.
I've done some digging through Tab S forums and it seems so far only 3 custom ROMs are available, and even those are not being developed or are based on stock.
Why is that? Not many devs have Tab S? No people with know-how?
Anything esle?
Are there more custom roms to be expect in the future?
I am actually not sure when this tablet came to market, but it seems like 5-6 months now.
Thx for all the info. Oh, and if anyone could recommend a custom rom for Tab S 10.5 (WiFi only) I would appreciate it.
BR
We have cm11, skyhigh kernels, stock based rom, and blissed rom is being working on now. The best custom rom for the tab s wifi is cm11 in which im running now. Its super fast and stable.
Thanks for info.
Would you be so kind and point me to the CM11 thread - i'm talking T-800, not T-700 for which i have found a thread. But i don't think it is compatible, is it?

How About Battery Life? Is it better than stock?
I've recently discovered the awesomeness of Pure Nexus on my Galaxy S4 and I would absolutely kill to have a rom like this for my Tab S. Google edition experience is buttery smooth, incredible battery life and has really extended the life of my phone. I may try the CM11, but I really don't know if it could be better than a modified Nexus rom.

Ehh well it depends. When i installed a custom rom battery life was a tad shorter. But after a couple charges to get the battery calibrated its a bit the same but A bit better. To get more battery on cm11 what i did was underclock the cpu to 1.3 mhz and set the profile to power save. I now have six hours screen on time at 35 percent. So it may vary. If you dont change anything it would not change battery life but butter smooth.

Google edition experience is buttery smooth, incredible battery life and has really extended the life of my phone. I may try the CM11, but I really don't know if it could be better than a modified Nexus rom.

its about as close as you will get at the moment, im a stock fan, and been using CM11 for 2 days, only has the tablet 3 days, and i must say its very nice.
Any android device with no official aosp support will always be boring and stagnant in custom development

That's truly unfortunate with the great hardware available on this device. It's what the Nexus should be!
